The White House issued a fact sheet announcing an executive order it says redirects federal Chesapeake Bay funds toward water quality projects while cutting what it calls unnecessary administrative costs. The release frames the move as a way to support clean water while opposing what it terms burdensome 'rain taxes.'

The administration describes the effort as more efficient, accountable, and results-driven, though the fact sheet offers no data on current bay conditions, target metrics, or dollar figures being redirected.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK
A press release that brags about results and then skips every number is a strange animal. You can tell a neighbor his corn is doing better than ever, but if he never lets you near the field, you start to wonder about the corn. Clean water is measurable, and somebody up there decided not to measure it.
